January Lawn Care Guide for Lincoln Residents

Discover essential January lawn care tips for Lincoln homeowners. Simply Sod shares how to keep your lawn protected and prepared for spring. January in Lincoln can be a quiet month for your yard, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored. At Simply Sod, we're here to help you maintain a healthy lawn throughout the winter. Follow these guidelines to ensure your lawn stays protected and ready for a vibrant spring:

Avoid Lawn Stress: Keep off the grass as much as possible. Winter stress can weaken the lawn, making it more susceptible to disease and damage.

Check for Pests: Rodents like voles are active in winter and can damage your lawn. Regularly inspect for any signs of pest activity and take appropriate action.

Inspect for Winter Diseases: Look for signs of snow mold and other winter diseases. Early detection can prevent significant damage.

Tree and Shrub Care: January is ideal for pruning dormant trees and shrubs. Pruning in January helps maintain their shape and encourages healthy growth in spring.

Plan Ahead: Use this time to plan your lawn care strategy for the upcoming spring. Think about areas that need reseeding, potential sod replacements, or soil amendments to enhance lawn health.
